Dear forum, I'm beyond brand new to MSSQL and started playing around with a demo database to get comfortable and all that good stuff. I'm connecting to the virtual machine through another linux vm using sqsh. Navigating around ok, but where I'm getting a bit stumped is how to view the contents of a certain column. So for example, DB = SportsTeamTable = StartersColumn Name = goalies

So I want to view in the linux sessions shell, the entries of that column. There's pre-made entries like mark, john, david etc., but as I tinker around, I want to ensure that my edits actually went in. How do I view the entries?Thanks a bunch in advance.

Are you sure you are using Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) and not MySQL?

Since you are using Linux I would guess you are using MySQL and not MSSQL. If so, then you want to download and install the MySQL WorkBench which will give you the utilities you need to query the database.

Hey Jeff, Ya I'm sure. I'ts a vm instance running MSSQL. MySql I'm relatively comfy with, but where I was having issues was the connectivity from a Linux box to the MSSQL instance, hence using sqsh.Never had to run 'go' after a query before lol.
